Simple adapter that definitely makes a difference in minimum focal distance allowing for really interesting macro shot using non macro lenses. I think it’s important to make the distinction that this is a fun addition to the toolkit but not a complete replacement for macro lens. For most people this will allow you to take shots that you might have struggled to without a macro lens and is enough to make this a useful tool.
As others have mentioned, some vignetting is unavoidable with this lens despite the description saying otherwise but once you get the hang of it, it can simply become part of the aesthetic of the photo. Overall worth trying for anyone wanting to do more macro photography without the massive investment into lenses.
Makroobjektive sind im Normalfall sehr speziell und dementsprechend teurer als die “normalen” Objektive.
Will man nun ein vorhandenes Objektiv nutzen, gibt es entweder die Mglichkeit von Zwischenringen oder die eine Makrovorsatzes. Da bei uns auch eine Bridge-Kamera benutzt wird, ist ein Makrovorsatz natrlich das Ma aller Dinge.
Und der Neewer-Vorsatz hlt seine Versprechen. Es ist zwar ein Schnappverschluss dabei, aber ich benutze lieber die – bereits vorhandenen – Step-Down-/-Up-Ringe.
Da der Vorsatz natrlich auch Licht “schluckt”, verwende ich ihn meist mit dem Canon EF 85mm f1.8, damit habe ich noch mehr als genug Lichtreserven, auch wenn ich bis zum Anschlag abblende.
Das Prinzip eines Objektivvorsatzes sollte einem klar sein, wenn man ein solches benutzt. Als Vergleich besitze ich noch zwei Raynox-Vorstze und einen Satz Zwischenringe und der Neewer hinkt hier nirgendwo hinterher – weder an der DSLM, noch an der Bridge.
Dass ein reines Makro-Objektiv hier natrlich nicht erreicht wird, ist auch verstndlich – aber eben um welchen Preis.
This is a very clever little add-on lens. You can attach it in 2 ways – if you have a 43mm threaded lens it can be screwed on directly, but more likely you will be using the snap-on mount which fits onto a 55-72mm threaded lens with a little spring clip (a lot like how you attach most lens caps).
The packaging on this is on point – it comes in a little hard shell case with a custom cut-out for the lens itself and the glass is quite substantial in your hand. This is not just some cheap plastic lens and it shows in the materials!
Usage wise it’s super easy to use – just screw the lens into the snap-on mount and then clip it onto your existing lens to use. Boom! Instant macro. The lens focuses super close and worked best on my mid-long range telephoto lenses. For shorter than 50mm I did notice some more vignetting and for lenses at the top range of the mount (72mm) the mount itself doesn’t fully cover the existing glass so just be aware of that.
Of the available lenses I had to try this with found it worked best with a 40-150mm on my G9. I did also love that it worked perfectly with the existing camera’s Autofocus which has often been a hit-or-miss thing for me with other “add-on” lenses such as extension tubes or telephoto extenders.
Is this as good as a dedicated Macro lens? Absolutely not, but dedicated macros are incredibly expensive and I just don’t take this kind of shot near enough to justify having one in my collection. The shots I got using this were good enough, and doubly so with the help of Photoshop these days.
This hits a really good middle of the road for me and I think will be well suited for a lot of hobby photographers as well – it’s a nice way to take occasional, or begin experimenting with, macro shots without a big investment and it’s both lightweight and fast to switch on and off an existing lens. I really liked it when out walking about since I could pop it on for a quick shot and then back off again.
Questa una “lente per macro” completa di adattatore per obiettivo. All’interno della confezione sono inclusi una custodia rigida, un adattatore per lente (55-72 mm), un obiettivo macro con tappo e protezione in gomma, un panno per la pulizia e le istruzioni.
Scheda tecnica:
Materiale: lega di alluminio, vetro ottico
Dimensioni: 51 x 51 x 21 mm
Peso: 68 g
L’installazione estremamente semplice in questa versione dedicata agli obiettivi da 55-72 mm. Basta avvitare l’obiettivo all’adattatore e successivamente premere i due pulsanti laterali per fissarlo alla lente dell’obiettivo principale.
Io ho utilizzato questa lente con una Nikon J1 e un obiettivo Nikon AF-S DX 18-55 mm, ma ha anche testato con altri obiettivi e con la mia Nikon d3200.
La costruzione di buona qualit e l’installazione risulta facile e veloce. Secondo me pero non e da considerare un vero e proprio obiettivo “macro”, ma piuttosto un dispositivo per creare “effetti foto macro”, in quanto bisogna cercare impostazione giusta e dopo vari tentativi si riescono a fare dei buoni scatti (vedi foto e video allegati).
Mi e piaciuta e mi sono divertito a provarla , consigliata se vi piace “sperimentare in fotografia “.

El kit incluye un objetivo macro con adaptadores para objetivos de 55-72 mm, una tapa protectora para el objetivo, instrucciones detalladas y un prctico estuche rgido con un pao para el cuidado del objetivo. El proceso de instalacin es el siguiente: este objetivo macro no se acopla a un filtro, por lo que si tienes un filtro en tu objetivo, tendrs que quitarlo para instalar el objetivo macro. El adaptador tiene elementos sobre muelles que hay que apretar para que se fije en el objetivo. El objetivo macro se sujeta con bastante seguridad y puedes trabajar sin preocuparte de que se caiga. Adems, es necesario desmontar completamente el objetivo macro para plegar su estuche, la tapa slo cubre la parte delantera del objetivo, y no hay nada que cubra la parte trasera en la forma montada. En consecuencia, para mantener limpio el objetivo, hay que desmontarlo y volverlo a montar constantemente, lo que lleva tiempo. En cuanto a las tomas, las imgenes con este objetivo resultan vivas, especialmente en modo macro. El bokeh se vuelve ms interesante, los elementos importantes se resaltan y el fondo se difumina. Despus de usar el objetivo durante poco tiempo, mi inters por la fotografa macro ha aumentado significativamente y pienso seguir probando este objetivo. La calidad es buena, las roscas son fiables, aunque a veces cuesta unos cuantos intentos enroscar el objetivo macro en el rebobinador. Adjunto fotos de muestra a esta resea. Me ha gustado este objetivo macro. Recomendado
This macro adapter couldn’t be simpler to attach. It clips on just like a lens cap. The specifications say that it will adapt to a lens with a filter size between 55 ad 72mm, but I also tried it on my Nikon P950 that has a 73mm thread and it worked just fine there too. It comes with a nice semi-rigid zippered case to protect the adapter. The case is a bit bulky if you’re going to throw it into your camera bag, but is a very nice case otherwise.
I tried the adapter out with several different lenses. The aforementioned P950 is an ultra-zoom with a 4.3 to 357mm range. I used it at maximum zoom to take photos of a bar code and of Andrew Jackson from a $20 bill. Those were done handheld, so any shakiness is my fault. I then switched to my Canon EOS 70D. Using its 18-55mm zoom lens, I took a photo of the 8.2 – 10.5 cm range of a plastic ruler. Switching to the longer 55-250mm zoom lens, I photographed the 8 – 9 cm range of a different plastic ruler. I was very pleased with the results of all of the tests.
I didn’t know something like this existed before I saw this one from Neewer. And I’m impressed!
It’s surprisingly easy to use–and just as surprisingly versatile. You just attach Neewer’s small macro lens to their flexible lens mount adaptor and attach it to any number of your lenses.
You’ll get different performance from different lenses (some focal ranges result in dark circles on the outside of your image), but just being able to have a reasonably priced macro option you can use with so many prime or zoom lenses could really come in handy.
I’m a big fan of Neewer products, and this macro snap on lens is no exception. The product comes in a compact case with the snap on adapter, the lens, covers for the lens, and micro fiber lens cloth. The snap on adapter is made from a strong plastic, while the lens is made from a heavier machined metal. The lens screws into the adapter nicely, without any resistance.
I was able to try the adapter on a variety of different lenses. I’m a real estate photographer, so I thought I’d give it a whirl on my 10-20mm 72mm lens. The macro effect wasn’t that pronounced and I was getting vignetting on the edges of the frame. (see photos) The vignette became more pronounced the wider I zoomed out. I then tried it on a 18-55 mm lens and the vignette was no where to be seen. The macro effect was more pronounced as well. The best lens I used was my 70mm-300mm. There was no vignette whatsoever, the magnification was very pronounced, and the image was nice and sharp with some work which I’ll explain in a bit. The 70-300mm lens worked best around 200mm (which is what the instructions stated).
I have used extension rings in the past for macro photography. The problem with those is the autofocus is completely disabled. With this macro lens, you’ll have to tweak the AF settings on your particular camera, but it can help you get in the range. You’ll then be able to dial in the focus manually. If you are not using a stabilizer like a tripod or monopod, you could also do this by moving closer or further away from the subject.
Overall, I’m happy with this adapter and lens. It is easily placed or removed from just about every lens I own, and the images are sharp. For the price, this is great for photographers who want to explore macro photography without breaking the bank.
I used this macro lens on my Sony A7R4, which had a Tamron 17-28mm lens mounted on it. It easily mounted to the Tamron lens with no problem.
As you can see by my before and after photos I still got some vignetting. I know the product listing shows that it doesn’t get vignetting, but I still did. Maybe it’s because of Sony’s full frame sensor. Either way, the image quality was still very good. So I would say for the price, I can crop in on the vignetting and still get a great image.
I’m a big fan of Neewer and own many of their products. So I would save for this price range it still does a great job.
